When you try to upload an SVG file to WordPress, you may receive an error message that says, “For security reasons, this file format is not allowed.” SVG is an XML-based format for representing vector graphics, and its Because of its structure, the risk exists that malicious code could be embedded, so by default WordPress blocks SVG uploads.
One way to solve this problem is to add the following declaration to the beginning of your SVG file: <?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? >This declaration will indicate that the file is in the correct XML format and may eliminate errors during upload.
Another option would be to use plug-ins that allow SVG files to be uploaded. These plug-ins provide the ability to simplify uploading while reducing the security risk of SVG files.
The choice of which method to use depends on your site’s operational policies and security requirements. It is also recommended that when uploading SVG files, make sure they are from a trusted source and verify the content if necessary.
